I enjoy listening to this novel as an audiobook – I liked the Southern American accent of the narrator. It’s a coming of age/murder mystery/family drama set in a small Mississippi town, in the 1960s and 70s.
Harriet is obsessed with finding who murdered her brother a decade ago and with wreaking revenge on them.
It’s a study of the misunderstanding and misconceptions rife in the mind of a child raised in a setting of prejudice both racist and classist and in a family broken by sudden and horrific loss.
